Oswestry Library in Shropshire, UK, is piloting a 'Borrow a Dress' service for Christmas, allowing visitors with library cards to borrow outfits just like books. The initiative, part of a sustainable fashion project called 'With Love From', aims to reduce waste and offer an alternative to buying new outfits for festive occasions.
"You can loan it for three weeks at a time, exactly the same as a book. You can renew it, exactly the same as a book."
From the library's perspective, it said "the one thing we really know about... is how to manage lending resources". "So we've got this system in place, so that we can keep those items in circulation as long as possible. "Any local fashion design students or enthusiasts can access those items, cut them up, make them into something new".With Love From, described as a "shared wardrobe", encourages occasion wear donations, and the library's Siobhan Shaw said Ms Dibble had "put all this hard work into building the wardrobe from scratch".
